Hwasun-gun Promotes 'Sending Multicultural Families Back to Their Hometown' Project

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do, is resuming the 'Sending Multicultural Families to Their Hometowns Project,' which was suspended due to COVID-19, after three years.

The Hwasun-gun Family Center announced on the 28th that it will support airfare and accommodation expenses for 45 members of 14 multicultural families who have lived in Hwasun for more than five years after marriage and have not been able to visit their hometowns in the past five years.

The support amount is up to 2.66 million KRW per household.

One marriage immigrant woman said, "I have never been able to visit my hometown since marriage, so I always missed it," and added, "I am grateful to Hwasun-gun and all the officials who created the opportunity to meet my parents and relatives."

The county expects that visits to the home countries of marriage immigrant women will help relieve homesickness and foster intimacy among family members.

A county official said, "We have completed thorough preparations by conducting orientations for participating families on pre- and post-departure preparations and schedule introductions," and added, "We will continue to do our best to develop various policies and support measures for multicultural families."
